The psychoanalytic id and the transactional analysis child
The way in which a person perceives other human beings is a key element in determining his or her interactions with others (Alexander & Neimeyer, 1989); for educators, who frequently have major impacts on students and on the community at large, this perception of others is particularly important. This conceptualization of human nature is sometimes referred to as the individual\u27s personality construct , with the term construct implying a complex image or idea formed from a number of simpler images or ideas (Stein, 196 7, p. 314). An individual\u27s image of others consists of, but is not limited to, his or her beliefs about such issues as (a) the relative importance of heredity versus environment, (b) whether there is peace or conflict in the psyche, and (c) the role of self concept in human nature (Corsini, 1984; Liebert & Spiegler, 1990; Prochaska & Norcross, 1994)
Magnetic Hole Formation from the Perspective of Inverse Scattering Theory
The dynamics of oblique, weakly dispersive nonlinear Alfven waves in the presence of weak resistive damping are investigated numerically through an extension of the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger (DNLS) equation. It is observed numerically that the nonlinear dynamics are organized around the dynamics and allowed interactions of the underlying DNLS soliton families. There are three types of oblique Alfven solitons: the compressive two-parameter soliton and one-parameter bright soliton along with the rare factive one-parameter dark soliton. The damping of either of these compressive solitons is accompanied by the formation of one or more dark solitons. The implication of these processes is that any initial wave profile containing solitons in its Inverse Scattering Transformation representation, in the presence of weak resistive damping, will result in a leading train of dark solitons. These dark soliton shave been identified with magnetic holes, and the results described above are discussed in the context of magnetic hole observations and theory
Using the World Wide Web to Educate and Inform the Public about Risk and Agricultural Biotechnology
The University of Nebraska and AgBios, Inc. launched the AgBiosafety website (http://agbiosaftzy.unl.edu) with the purpose of educating the public about agricultural biotechnology risk and safezy issues through science-based content. This article discusses the creation ofthe website, its components, and data gathered from usage statistics and a web-delivered survey. Also included is a discussion of the results ofdata gathered and recommendations for future web-based educational efforts in biotechnology safety and risk assessment

Triangular body-cover model of the vocal folds with coordinated activation of the five intrinsic laryngeal muscles
Poor laryngeal muscle coordination that results in abnormal glottal posturing is believed to be a primary etiologic factor in common voice disorders such as non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction. Abnormal activity of antagonistic laryngeal muscles is hypothesized to play a key role in the alteration of normal vocal fold biomechanics that results in the dysphonia associated with such disorders. Current low-order models of the vocal folds are unsatisfactory to test this hypothesis since they do not capture the co-contraction of antagonist laryngeal muscle pairs. To address this limitation, a self-sustained triangular body-cover model with full intrinsic muscle control is introduced. The proposed scheme shows good agreement with prior studies using finite element models, excised larynges, and clinical studies in sustained and time-varying vocal gestures. Simulations of vocal fold posturing obtained with distinct antagonistic muscle activation yield clear differences in kinematic, aerodynamic, and acoustic measures. The proposed tool is deemed sufficiently accurate and flexible for future comprehensive investigations of non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction and other laryngeal motor control disorders.Fil: Alzamendi, Gabriel Alejandro.
